I’m excited to write this Iris and Romeo review because it’s an up-and-coming brand that deserves more attention. This brand first caught my eye when they sent me an email pitch to my work inbox about their “all-in-one” foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen skin tint. I am a big fan of products that do double duty….
An age-old skincare question if I ever heard one.
For all my sensitive skin girlies out there, this Vanicream review is for you. I discovered Vanicream maybe five or six years ago when my perioral dermatitis was flaring up around my mouth, and my itchy skin needed a really bland moisturizer to relieve the itching, irritation, and redness. I normally flock to my favorite…
And, yes—they’re totally worth the splurge.
I discovered the iS Clinical Pro Heal Serum after a celebrity esthetician had used it on my skin during a facial. I can bet that you’ve probably seen this brand before. iS Clinical is widely used at spas and dermatology offices nationwide and is one of the leading, professional-grade skincare lines. iS Clinical is all…
As a beauty and lifestyle writer, I’ve tested dozens of lipsticks—some luxury tubes with expensive pricetags as well as a handful of drugstore picks. The latter, which was previously thought of as subpar, has come a long way. In fact, I’ve found that drugstore lipstick can be just as good as, if not better, than…
I’m sad to report that my highly sensitive, acne-prone skin can’t tolerate many foundations on the market. Mineral makeup is usually the only type of product that doesn’t make my face break out. I’ve been using the Alima Pure Foundation for a very long time. It’s done a fantastic job of covering up imperfections without…
I had never heard of Byoma skincare before the brand invited me to try out a mini facial using their products. A UK-based skincare brand that has absolutely blown up on TikTok, Byoma is a super affordable skincare line that features skin-loving ingredients in fun, bright packaging. Byoma is best known for formulating products that…
It’s crazy how something that’s supposed to prevent you from getting cancer might actually cause cancer! Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve probably heard about the latest controversy with sunscreens getting recalled for cancer-causing chemicals or being banned because they’re ruining reefs. There is still a lot of research being done around…
I have been perfecting the heatless waves overnight look for as long as I can remember. When I was in grade school, I’d ask my mom to put my hair in those (super uncomfortable) spongy rod rollers multiple nights a week. I loved sporting my curly-Qs at school. Nowadays, I prefer a look that’s less…
Non-toxic deodorants are all the rage in the world of underarm care, and for good reason—aluminum-based deodorants might not be the safest formulas to apply to your pits. Not only are non-toxic deodorants safer for your skin, but they might include ingredients that are safer and more natural for the environment, too. While I do…
When I studied abroad in Cape Town, South Africa ten years ago, I was taking a high dose of antibiotics for my cystic acne. The antibiotics cleared up my skin but left me feeling sick all the time. My immune system was shot. My throat was hurting all the time. And I developed a pretty…
